This made me cry. Tyler Simmons was one of six U.S. service members killed when a U.S. Air Force jet crashed in Iraq on Thursday while supporting the US war in Iran. His mother tells WBNS 10 TV how uniformed officers showed up at her door to tell her that her son had passed.

Tyler attended Eastmoor Academy High School in Columbus, Ohio, where he played football and graduated with the class of 2015.
